the bird worked his sweet will upon his pros
trate enemy, and at the end Of it the man be-
gan to feel very much as though his earthly
career was closed. Just as things were grow
ing faint and dim to him, however, he sud-
denly saw pair Of white arms clasp them
selves round the ostrich's legs from behind
and heard voice cry:
aBreak his neck while hold his legs, or he
will kill you"
This reused him from, his torpor, and he
staggered to his feet. Meanwhile the ostrich
and the young lady had come to the ground,
and were rolling about together in confused
heap, over which the elegant neck and open,
Kissing mouth wavered to and fro like q
cobra about to strike With rush he seized
the neck in both his hands, and, putting out
all his strength for he was strong mani, he
twisted it till it broke with snap, and after
few wild and convulsive bounds and strug-
giles the great bird lay dead.
Then he sank down, dazed and exhausted,

perfectly quiet, and would never kick again,
and the lady, too, was quiet. He wondered
vaguely if the brute had killed her-he was
as vet too weak to 60 and see-and then fell

plumes made fitting resting place. Slowly

beautiful, although it looked so pale just now

ANOTHER HUGE MONOPOLY.
A Gigantic Combination of ALI Rubber
Manufacturers to Run the Trade.
New York special

One of the greatest commercial combina-
tons of recent years has Just been effected
IN this city. 1t includes the control of the
entire rubber industry in America. Several
secret meetings have been held during the
last few weeks by the leading rubber manu-
facturers of the East to discuss the posi-.
blllty of forming rubber trust modelled
somewhat after the Standard Oil Trust. bnt
with improvements suggested by expert
ence. This meant the control of the manu-
facture of all rubber goods, the fixing of
the market value OF both crude materials
and manufactured articles, and, lastly, to
80 control the. workmen employed in
the business that they Will no
longer be able to successfully conduct
strikes as they haze at times in the past.
The scheme does away with the business
OF about 200 importers and masses the
buying power i'll the bands of one broker

fishing. Besides this it fixes the prices Of
crude rubber, and consequently the returns
to the rubber cutter for his labors and the
revenue TO the owner of the lands. 1t also
compels the Jobber i'll rubber goods to pay
the Trust what its managers consider a
fair return on the capital and brains en-
ployed, but does not oust the jobber Alto
gether from the trade. It leaves him to
prey upon the retailer, who in turn will
compel the consumer to stand and deliver
or get his feet wet. Lastly, it regulates Tho
pay Of over $4,000 wage earners 10 suit the
ideas of the Trust.
